This needs NPOVing, and a basic definition of what a birthing center is.Vicki Rosenzweig

A birth center is a place where laboring couples can have their babies without the risk of hospital germs or the disease orientation.


 * Here we try to maintain a neutral point of view. We don't try and push one side to the story, and try to keep an even balance of the positive and negative views on one issue. Vicki was saying that this article is biased, and I have to tend to agree with her on this one. Dysprosia 15:10, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Globalization tag
I have removed the generic globalization tag from this article. If you think the tag is deserved, please feel free to restore it -- but please also add a clear explanation right here on this talk page. Your actual concerns are much more likely to be adequately addressed if you identify them. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Fix the comparison with hospitals section plz
Yeah, not enough time to do it myself, but it's in an overly casual tone. Also, it should mention mortality and adverse events, which to be honest is what's really important. 203.5.70.1 (talk) 14:32, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Felt not lazy, and did it myself. Eh, it's dodgy that the original author left out the fact was a very strong trend towards an increase in mortality. Sounds like POV pushing.203.5.70.1 (talk) 14:51, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion for Links to datasets of Birth Centers in the US
I work for GeoCommons, an open and free repository of geospatial data and maps - all available under creative commons. I have created a geographic dataset on the location of Birth Centers from the American Association of Birth Centers that can be mapped using our software or downloaded in formats compatible with ESRI or Google earth. I think a link to this dataset: http://finder.geocommons.com/overlays/11817 would be a good addition to this article. Also, a link to the map would be good: http://maker.geocommons.com/maps/8348. If anyone would like to add this, please do.

I would do it myself, but I'm not bothered to because that could entail changing everything on this page and I don't have the time lol.

Whoever edited this page is clearly biased and wrote loads without providing references. Kayhannbr (talk) 12:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
